I have local friends but they either have their own kids at different schools or family but out of County.

Looks sadly like I have looming funeral coming on dhs side. Out of County 2 hours drive away.

I can't take my two primary age kids as they have SEN and besides, it's not a close person to them. It's close family to us. It wouldn'tbe fair on the kids. I could try to go and get back for pick up if the timing works. But I'm thinking that really I can't go. Even if asked the one school mum I know well enough, there's no one for my son who gets a taxi to and from a SEN school to collect. I could hire a babysitter for the day.

Person is in palatine care and its really not looking good. I'm wondering how it's going to possible to go. The sensible thing is for dh to go without me. I do worry I'm going to hurt feelings if I don't go. Seems weird thinking about this while they are still alive. But I'm trying to think what would work and I can't see it.
